Bill Summary
Line of Duty Act; transitional coverage. Requires the Department of Human Resource Management to acquire and provide temporary transitional health insurance coverage to disabled persons, eligible spouses, and eligible dependents during the period of transition into the LODA (Line of Duty Act) Health Benefits Plans. Current law authorizes but does not require the Department to acquire and provide such temporary transitional health insurance coverage to disabled persons, eligible spouses, and eligible dependents during such period.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Department of Human Resource Management must acquire and provide temporary transitional health insurance coverage to individuals who are disabled, their eligible spouses, and eligible dependents during the period they are transitioning into the LODA (Line of Duty Act) Health Benefits Plans. Previously, the Department was only authorized, but not required, to provide this transitional coverage, meaning this change makes it a mandatory responsibility. The LODA Health Benefits Plans are designed to provide continued health insurance coverage for these individuals, modeled after state employee health benefits, and are administered by the Department of Human Resource Management.
